Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction
Real Madrid wins the match +104
Less than 3.5 goals scored -137
Both teams do score -244
This exciting Clasico will be headlined by top-calibre players such as Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham and, on the other hand, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. Although there is a high chance of it being a close game, the Whites have the home advantage.
Our first Real Madrid vs Barcelona prediction is the match winner or market also known as “money line”, where you just have to guess which club will win the match or even if it will end in a draw, the latter being a rarely seen result, since the last time they tied without goals was in the 2019-2020 season, 18 games ago.
Now, the odds at Novibet have Real Madrid as a clear favourite, winning the match with odds of +104 and 47% of the probability of winning. On the other hand, the victory of Barcelona has odds of +220 , while the draw pays +305. All the odds are positive, which leaves us with a very even match.
So, if you plan to bet, let’s say, $120.00 pesos on Real Madrid to win, you could receive a profit of $244.80; while, a bet for the same amount, but on Barcelona to win, would have potential profits of $384.00 pesos . The draw, being the least likely outcome, leaves $486.00 for the same $120.00 pesos.
Another sports bet that has good odds and high probability for this exciting match is the total goals market, also known as “over/under”. It is easy to get carried away by the scoring tendency of the teams in their recent matches, however, their last matches average more than 2.5 goals, but less than 3.5 goals.
The last few games between Los Blancos and Barça have been decided by an average of 3 goals, so Novibet’s prediction is that under 3.5 goals will be scored with odds of -137 . The option that over 3.5 goals will be scored has odds of +110, but is less likely.
The last prediction is for a simple market that is ideal for punters who venture into live betting , a game mode that Novibet offers a wide variety of markets for. That said, we are talking about “ both teams to score” . Here the trend is clear: the two best attacks in LaLiga are facing each other.
Given that, the best bet is both teams to score -244. The both teams to not score option pays odds of +175.
